After gear install, confused


Ok I just got my 03 GT back from my gear installer.
I had him install a set of 4.10's and I thought I had stock 3.27's.
At 70mph in 5th (T3650) what rpms should I had been at with the 3.27s?

Well then my tach is off. Before I had the 4.10's installed at 70 mph, I was around 2k-2050.
And when I went to pick up my car the installer showed me the gears he pulled out, and they had 3.73 stamped on them. I said WTF?. I had calculated it many times and was dead certain I had 3.27's.

at least you get that far to find out you already had 4.10s

wheel diameter will affect that calculation. What does 4.10s feel like after 3.73s??? That is the question!

Tires are 315/35/17, they are around .1" difference in diameter.
There is a noticeable difference, not as big as I would have hoped(because I thought I had 3.27s) But overall I am happy. I havent got on it yet, still doing heat cycles and putting some miles on it.
